At the end of the day, it's okay to be sad. It's okay to feel like you're losing, like the world is against you, like everything is wrong, like nobody is there. There's nothing wrong with feeling that, or admitting that you're feeling like that. However, I promise you that there is always someone there and that there's always always a way of getting through it, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. Just keep going, because there are a million billion good things in the world, and they far outweigh the bad. Please believe me, that everything can and will get better- Yours Truly

Aaaand for a final bit of 'hope', I couldn't leave it without a message from this lovely person, because she's amazing... Except I couldn't choose which, so here are three.

Troubled Soul- Amy Macdonald

Your Time Will Come- Amy Macdonald

Run- Amy Macdonald
